9:10 am.
[israelreporter.com editor’s note: I
have reached final stages of packing and will shortly have to pack
my computer equipment. I offer you the following last-minute
coverage from INN of the arrival of the final, deportation troops
entering the beautiful city of Neve Dekalim to escort 100% of its
inhabitants (with or without force) to an unknown destination.
The families here (many with 5-10 kids)
have not been given any notification of immediate or long-term living
arrangements. I will not, however, be offered a new living option or
compensation; not that I would accept anything from this corrupt
government at this point.
My wish is to restart my life anew, and
all I hope for at this point is not to be arrested/detained and be
dropped on the streets of Holy Jerusalem to recover from this horrific
ordeal….I can see soldiers coming up the street…time for me to close
my computer and finish packing…after nearly 100 days reporting live
from Gush Katif…the soldiers are coming to remove me from this place
and the people that I have come to love…from what is now home to
me…from where I was hoping to marry, and build a family and home….from
the most beautiful and splendid expression of Jewish settlement on the
planet…Gush Katif…we will come back one day and make you blossom
again…and once again the sound of Jewish children playing will
return…for now…goodbye Gush Katif…
I’ll miss you and cry for you forever..
Shlomo from a tear-stained keypad
